Bracknell Town won their first home FA Cup tie in five seasons with a comfortable win over Hellenic Premier Division side Bicester Town.

After a goalless first half, the Robins stepped up a gear after the break to win with three unanswered goals and claim the £1,500 prize money and a place in the first qualifying round of the world’s oldest domestic cup competition.

The early running was made by the hosts as Keith Newby sent a second minute effort wide, before Errol Telemaque crossed for Ryan McIntosh who fired narrowly wide from a tight angle.

Bicester made a game of it in the first half and Tom Butler twice forced Tom Taylor into saves, but the visitors were restricted to these two chances as the Robins poured forward.

Ben Edwards had two good efforts and Leon Woodruffe’s close-range shot was cleared off the line before Telemaque converted an Ian Harvey cross, but was judged to be offside.

Byron Walton’s side, however, turned it on after the interval, despite being dealt a blow when Jamie Clarke was stretchered off with a suspected dislocated shoulder in the 50th minute – an injury which will keep him out of action for six weeks.

Woodruffe, substitute Shaun Grant and McIntosh all combined in a free-flowing move, but Telemaque couldn’t finish it off as he sent his header straight at McNamara.

It was McIntosh who eventually opened the scoring in the 59th minute with a tremendous solo goal.

Cutting in from the left, he rounded Nathan Hunt, Dan Leggett and Ian Lovegrove before rifling the ball into the roof of the net from what looked like an impossible angle as he scored his first ever goal for Bracknell.

The excellent football continued and the lead was doubled in the 71st minute with another good goal.

Edwards’ slide-rule pass was back heeled by McIntosh into the path of Grant who opened his account for the club as he curled home a fine left-footed shot from the edge of the area.

Bicester battled bravely and substitute James Kyberd was twice denied by Taylor before Harvey showed blistering pace to cut inside Nigel Emsden, but he sliced his shot wide.

That job was left to Telemaque as he completed the scoring in injury time – also his first goal in a Bracknell shirt.

The bounce deceived defender Leggett and the striker was allowed a free run at goal and he coolly scored.

It was another good exhibition of football by Walton’s side who now host Southern League Premier Division side Oxford City at Larges Lane in the next round on Saturday 13th September.

This weekend Bracknell return to British Gas Southern League Division 1 South & West action as they visit Beaconsfield SYCOB.
